A Palestinian man who faced death threats after saving the lives of Israeli children following a terrorist attack which killed their rabbi father was awarded Israeli residency by Interior Minister Aryeh Deri on Tuesday.
The unnamed 28-year old man and his wife—who has a nursing degree—were traveling in the vicinity of their home near Hebron on July 1, 2016, when they encountered the overturned vehicle of Rabbi Miki Mark and his wife, Chava, which had gone off the road near Otniel after being sprayed with bullets in a terrorist attack.
Rabbi Mark was killed and Chava seriously wounded in the attack.
Despite tensions between Palestinians and Israelis in the region, the couple immediately stopped and helped evacuate the couple’s trapped, injured and frightened teenage children from the car, assuring them that they were there to help and administering first aid, comforting and waiting with them until emergency medical services arrived.
